He seems to have radicalised himself over the years. I'm sure he made some sort of sense back in the beginning. I don't remember him being such an exceptionalist at the start. Now he's gone the way of Brexiters... or maybe he's just sold out.

Could Andrew be the James Melville of Brexit?

I've been feeling guilty for neglecting all the birds I've been feeding for the last 5 years. The garden's been devoid of life as a result. Hopefully the "rats" have slung their hooks far away by now. I haven't seen them since I axed the daily bird buffet.

We'll see if my feathered friends return.

You've reminded me, I ought to start feeding the birds again. I've got a tonne of food but had to stop, back in September, due to the arrival of a couple of rats so huge, I think they might have been coypu (even though they've supposedly been eradicated from the UK). They were rabbit-sized!

It's justice people want... but if they weren't willing to hold him to account after he lost the rape case, they just don't care.

Isn't that the Truman door? Maybe, if you go through it, you'll get out of the sinister, madcap reality show and back to the real world.

I agree but they tend to go after ZP, himself, because a lot of Green policies are really what Labour should already be doing. The Greens are far closer to traditional Labour values than the current Labour Party and I think this rankles with them.

As I recall (from watching it 30-odd years ago), the first series isn't that great. I found the character dynamics to be rather clunky / underwhelming as if the show was finding its way by trial and error. It gets better in season two, though, and really hits its stride by season three. Enjoy!

Yes. There's not enough money full stop... thanks to Brexit.

Yes, people are living longer but these changes are being brought in too way too rapidly and are more a result of 15 years of failed austerity and failed Brexit than anything else.

They shouldn't have been allowed to change it to 67/68, after already changing it from 60 to 65 for women.

When I entered my profession, people routinely retired at 50. Now you can't even get access to your own personal pension until 55 and that's soon changing to 57.

I understand. I felt very much the same way about Boris Johnson, the lying faux buffoon who wrecked the UK for his own personal gain... along with being responsible for thousands of avoidable deaths from COVID, which he treated as a big joke.

You say that but I'd still give it a go. If I let my Norton subscription autornew it doubles in price but if I contact them directly, they're always happy to do me a deal. Once they even refunded me the difference, as I'd already paid.

I work in the Inclusion department of a mainstream high school and it's wonderful. We have kids who are out, including trans kids. Everyone belongs.

Christmas party tomorrow. Spent last lesson wrapping selection boxes. 🌲🎁

Greed also has a lot to do with it. There may be just a handful of men who are sexually compromised... but there's a whole lot more who have sold out to protect and support them.

Not sure why you're sending this from Japan, however, I have donated to relief charities to help those in Gaza.
